Slowly
but surely, Spring is starting to peek its head around the corner and we are
finally starting to experience some warmer temperatures.

What
better way to officially welcome the start to the season than a blog hop
featuring the amazing May card kit – May Flowers?Did you know
that you could subscribe to Simon Says Stamp’s monthly card kits for just
$19.95 plus S&H every month!? The kits are an incredible value! You may want to get yours now... the last few months have sold out!

I've created a couple cards for today. This first one focuses on the GORGEOUS flower stamps... and a little water coloring with Distress markers.

Just allow the watercolors to flow into the valleys of the embossing!

I also shot a video on this card... Check it out!

Next I created a really quick card using the cute little panel that is complete with fun cut-outs.

I'm not sure if you can see the cute embossed flowers on this panel....

ADORABLE!!!

You create such beauties! That first card I watched two days ago when you posted it on the SSS youtube feed! I was inspired by your card to make a wedding card for a friend who placed an order w/me. I had tried this technique before by mistake and loved the outcome. When you made it I was like "ohhh, so it's not a mistake, it's an actual technique!" hahah! (:

Love the combination of the velum and card stock. Coloring on the back of vellum was one of the first techniques I learned when I first started to make cards. Glad to see that you used the technique to create such a soft pink on the card. As always, Shari ,I love the creativity to show in making cards with Simon's kits. Thanks so much.

The Thinking of you card reminds me of my youth in the 70s. Not sure why though. Something about the divided nature of the front of the card. Truly a gorgeous card. Velum and soft colors always indicates a certain elegance. Thanks for inspiring me!

Two lovely cards. I like the accent flower stamped on vellum and completed with a heart and twine, and that embossed card front included in the kit is so pretty! Thanks for featuring this nice giveaway!
